For the small-scale site observation i chose an area that is a division area of the Marigny to coincide with my modeling project that show how the railroads and waterways divided the Marigny into the sections that it is today. Although Ellysian Fields is no longer a railroad or waterway dividing the neighborhood I feel that there is still a significant change from one side of the long broad street to the other. The broadness of the existing street seems to divide the neighborhood subconsciously for the residents, and on a map divides the neighborhood for city planners. I recorded about 120 various observations over a two and a half hour period on Ellysian Fields next to a nursery near the bottom of the street. Of these 120 Observations i divided these into ones that have a direct impact on the landscape (shown in larger text), and ones that do not have a direct impact or any impact at all. Then, i further divided these observations into six groups of effectees; people, animals, wind, natural phenomena, sun, and machinery.
